Business reopens after tree falls through roof

A Paradise outdoorsman business has reopened after a tree fell through its roof about two months ago.

Thursday Fins, Fur and Feather Sports opened its doors after the January accident. Business owner Larry Main said he through it would take longer for the reopening, but was happy with the two month turnaround. Main said nine trusses were destroyed in the accident.

If that wasn't enough, while the business was closed, some thieves cut through the heavy-duty lock and made off with electronic equipment such as fish finder and the like, Main said. After the accident, Main said they stashed the safe and the guns in a separate storage space for safe keeping. The crooks did not get away with any guns, Main said.

Even though Thursday's opening was unannounced, the business was still drawing in customers. Main said they will have an official grand re-opening on April 11 and 12. There will be raffle prizes including a Ruger 10/22 rifle or a $300 fishing outfit, whichever the winner chooses, Main said. There will also be rods, reels, lures and other prizes.

The business is located at 1520 Bader Mine Road near the intersection of Skyway and Clark Road. Fins, Fur and Feather Sports can be reached at 876-8800.
